Drink driving scumbag

[RedX]

So did the club take the rightful moral high ground and fine George for his appearence in court the oher week ?

Cosmo..first of all just to say unlucky in your defeat Friday night..oh and pass on my regards to Dan Connor..

Have you anything better to say in trying to stir up City fans after Fridays defeat?..Georgie was wrong for drink driving and he payed the penalty..there are a lot more people around that never got caught and made this mistake once or twice in there time also..he made a mistake...i am surprised at you for stooping so low with that thread headline..shame on you Cosmo..thought you seemed to have more about you than that..

He says hello

'Georges court case(s) are public knowledge, did you only just find out?'

Yeah, only found out when I was in cork

'there are a lot more people around that never got caught and made this mistake once or twice in there time also'

Totally agree

'he made a mistake'

A very big one at that (is there nobody out there that cork fans give grief to because they made a 'mistake')

'i am surprised at you for stooping so low with that thread headline'

Nothing wrong with the thread headline - when you're the victim of such a crime you might think the same

But anyway, I'll leave it at that

why are people so defensive about george o'callaghan? i'm a lifelong city fan but i am not a george o'callaghan fan at all. sure, he has some talent but not as much as he thinks he has (nor as much as some of his admrers think he has). He's a good eL player - full stop. Anybody who thinks otherwise should look at his performances (and attitude) against Prague.

personally i think he has all the petulance but none of the talent of the cross-channel players he so deperately would like to be. i doubt if any manager would say the same about george as coppel said about doyle (ie, he trains, he goes home, lovely lad ,etc).

I'm defensive about the notion that players should be double punished just because they play football for a living. Nothing to do with George as such. The courts have dealt with this issue, end of as far as I'm concerned.

[StarandCrescent]

just my tuppence worth,

there is nothing wrong or inaccurate about the heading of this thread. Anyone who drinks and drives is a scumbag of the highest order.

A neighbour of mine was killed by a drunk driver.

Why is it that Drogheda supporters feel so bitter about his?
You lot didn't actually think George was ever going to sign for you, did you?

[Macy]

Shouldn't be brushed under the carpet either. Don't remember everyone jumping to Niall Quinn's defence so quickly.

btw Peader, alot of people would have their careers effected by stuff like this. Hardly helping the image of Cork City. Luckily for him he got away with not killing anybody.

Patsh, nothing at all to do with him not signing for drogheda. I think it was you I had this debate with before he was linked with us - I think he's over rated and id prefer players like Michael Collins with Portadown before him.

No bitterness either - after he signed for cork I was one of the few drogs that said good luck to him, he did what he had to do for himself and I've no problem with what he did.

[Fair_play_boy]

What bothered me (apart from the obvious) was the timing of the incident. I think from memory it happened on October 20th 2004. That was just two days before a crucial home match against SPA. We had to take all 3 points to maintain the pressure on Shels. As it turned out, Georgie played a stormer, had a shot on goal blocked by Flynnie, and we won 3-nil with two from Flynnie and one from Billy Woods.
But that is not the point. Having a gallon of beer plus shorts 48 hours before a game is sheer unprofessional lunacy, IMO.

Nice to see your priorities are right anyway

Are you one of those auld fellas who sits in the Donnie Ford and moans about George for the full 90 min and never says anything positive?

[Éanna]

George made a mistake. Drink driving is wrong and utterly stupid. He's paid for his mistake and he's got himself sorted out now. He doesn't deserve any more punishment than that. The guy is a class footballer, and since he decided to get his house in order, he's a model pro too.

[Cosmo]

he's a model pro too.

Sorry Eanna, I have to laugh at that comment
